Help Us Recover from Trauma and Loss

Plan B: Rebuilding After Extraordinary Challenges: Support for a Fresh Start

I never, ever thought I’d be doing this—but over the past near month, I’ve found myself navigating an extraordinary and deeply personal hardship—one that I never could have imagined being in. While I am choosing to keep much of the situation private, it has involved profound loss, trauma, sudden and unexpected transitions including homelessness/displacement, and a deep emotional toll.

This period has also brought to light painful realities I never thought I would face, including the experience of being in an environment that left me feeling unsafe, diminished, and hurt in ways I am still processing. As I work through the trauma of this experience, I am prioritizing my mental health and safety, but the financial burden of therapy, medical bills, food for myself and Finn, shelter, and rebuilding my life is significant.

I am reaching out for support during this time of extraordinary challenge. Any contribution will help me cover immediate needs including housing, food, transportation, mental health care, and legal fees, allowing me to focus on healing and reclaiming stability and agency in my life. I am choosing to be a survivor in this story.

This moment of my life has tested me in ways I never expected, but despite its suddenness, it has also been a time of deep reflection and growth. Your kindness—whether through a donation or by sharing this message—means a great deal to me, and I will be forever grateful for your support.
